If you hear someone described as “sensuous,” you might assume they are sexually provocative. Although that may play a part, let’s get down to the root: a sensuous person is one who is ruled by their senses. Because this term has a negative connotation, however, modern thought substitutes the term “sensuality” with “empirical science.” This is merely a mask for the rulership of the senses–complete reliance upon that which can be seen, felt, tasted, heard, and smelled to whatever degree of scientific “repeatability” you desire. And yet, it is largely believed that if something is not observable, then it does not exist. This was true of cells, molecules, and atoms at one time. Did they suddenly exist when we “sensed” them? How about dark matter and dark energy (the majority of the universe)–did it, too, suddenly exist when formulas necessitated it? How about the supernatural?
